Diversity Within Dementia
Diversity Within Dementia takes its listeners through a journey that explores the different facets of Alzheimer's and dementia through the lens of caretakers, community members from differing backgrounds and cultural connections, and experts in the field, including physicians and researchers. Produced and hosted by siblings, Anushka and Anshul Noori, co-founders of Gentle Generations, the podcast was developed in collaboration with the WA State Dementia Action Collaborative. Not intended for medical advice, we hope this body of work adds a deeper awareness about the complexity of Alzheimer's.
